Fairway Cove Homes for Sale

About Fairway Cove Neighborhood

Fairway Cove occupies a quiet, self-contained pocket in the heart of MetroWest, reached from South Hiawassee Road and organized around a single internal spine, Fairway Cove Drive. The community's defining feature is its position between water and fairway: roughly 14 homes sit directly on the eastern shore of Lake Hiawassee — which has no public access points — while about 13 homes back directly onto the MetroWest Golf Club, the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed course that runs through the larger community.

The 138 homes were built over roughly thirteen years, from 1988 to 2001, and the staggered timeline shows: rather than a single repeated floor plan, the neighborhood reads as a collection of individual builds, with few if any identical houses side by side. Living areas generally range from about 1,969 to 3,381 square feet, with three to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms, and many lots feature private pools, oversized covered lanais, and the mature tree canopy that comes with an established community.

At the center of the neighborhood sit a pair of landscaped ponds and a fountain, with an additional drainage pond along the northern edge — the kind of internal green-and-water features that give Fairway Cove its calm, parklike feel without relying on a clubhouse or resort amenity package. For buyers who want a settled single-family address with golf and lake frontage rather than new construction, it is one of the more distinctive options in southwest Orlando.

Fairway Cove Location & Connections

Fairway Cove sits in the interior of MetroWest, with its primary access off South Hiawassee Road — the corridor that runs the length of the community and connects it to dining, shopping, schools, and the SR 408 interchanges. The neighborhood is bordered by Lake Hiawassee on the east and the MetroWest Golf Club to the south, and it is roughly six miles west of downtown Orlando. Valencia College West Campus sits a short drive east on Kirkman Road, making the location convenient for students and staff.

Fairway Cove Amenities & Lifestyle

Day-to-day life in Fairway Cove leans residential and low-key: a quiet single-family enclave whose appeal is the setting itself — water, fairway, mature trees, and central ponds — rather than a programmed amenity package. Because it sits inside MetroWest, residents are minutes from the community's golf, the Hiawassee Road dining corridor, and everyday shopping.

How Fairway Cove Compares

Within MetroWest, the most common product is gated condos and townhomes built in the 1990s and 2000s. Fairway Cove sits at the opposite end: established, lower-density single-family homes on larger lots, many with golf or lake frontage. The table below contrasts Fairway Cove with a typical MetroWest gated condo community and with newer single-family new construction elsewhere in southwest Orlando.

Fairway Cove HOA & CDD Information

Fairway Cove is governed by a mandatory homeowners association, run by a volunteer resident board and a professional community association manager. The association maintains the neighborhood's common areas — including the central ponds and fountain, entry landscaping, and shared green space — and administers the community's standards. There is no Community Development District (CDD) on the property, so homeowners are not subject to a separate CDD assessment on their tax bill.
